Usama Mir, a leg-spinner for Multan Sultans, has made history in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) by setting a new record in the 30th match of the ongoing ninth season against Quetta Gladiators at the National Bank Cricket Stadium.
The experienced spinner has risen to the top as the spinner with the most wickets in a single edition after he dismissed Mohammad Wasim Jr.
With his remarkable performance in PSL 9, Usama has taken an impressive 21 wickets to date, breaking the previous record set by Rashid Khan, who took 20 wickets in the previous season while representing Lahore Qalandars.
In contrast, prominent bowlers like Hasan Ali, Abbas Afridi, and Ehsanullah have made their mark with notable wicket-taking performances in the past season.
Hasan’s collection of 25 wickets in 2019 is the highest, followed by Afridi’s 23 and Ehsanullah’s 22 in 2023.
Interestingly, the list of top wicket-takers is exclusively composed of fast bowlers, with Faheem Ashraf in fourth place, having taken 21 wickets in the 2019 edition.
It’s important to mention that the playoff schedule for PSL 9 has been confirmed. The Sultans are set to play against Peshawar Zalmi in Qualifier 1 on March 14, while the Gladiators will face Islamabad United in the Eliminator on March 15.
The Sultans and Zalmi have two opportunities to qualify for the PSL 9 final after finishing in the top two of the points table, as the loser of Qualifier 1 will compete against the winner of the Eliminator on March 16.
